  1. Jojo on the gogo? Kill me now.
  2. I don't think there is a specific rule against it.
  3. Will Rogers is going pro........in something other than sports.
  4. His decision could change after winning the CFP.
  5. Ryan Day wouldn't even pick up the phone.
  6. What I react to is obvious lies. The post you quoted describes "his own endorsement of white genocide theory and all the Nazi/extremist content on his website". To any reasonable person, that never happened. Even the single post he made wasn't an endorsement of Nazism, it was an attack on the ADL. Elon has been going after the ADL for months if not years. I don't think Elon is a Nazi, I think he holds a political position you disagree with so you and your fellow travelers want to call him a Nazi/racist etc. It's not a new formula, it's old and tired. But you do you. I though Elon should have been fired from Tesla years ago, he is obviously acting against the interest of shareholders. I have no idea how he manages to hang on to his CEO titles.
  7. Not at all. The point is that the media writ large is obviously offended and biased. They have a long history of writing untruths, and I have no capacity to evaluate the merits of the case. I see no reason to grant legitimacy to an obviously biased and untruthful media. Whether the case has merit is something I have no opinion on.
  8. according to Techdirt.com. You forgot to add that.
  9. Yeah, even better than Poona. And Poona was just nails. It's amazing how shitty your run game is when the nose tackle gets three yards deep in a matter of seconds.
  10. I am somewhat shocked by the small number of players from A&M who have declared at this point. Right now it's one, but last year this time it was a lot more, if memory serves. I know the DEC 4 date change may have had an impact.
  11. That could happen. But only if the Committee ignores their own published criteria for selection. I appreciate how hard that would be to believe, but we beat Bama straight up, in their house.
  12. We move up one just based on the OSU/Michigan game. The loser can't play in the CCG. The committee has stated they look at wins and losses, conference championship, and head to head competition. Of course there is more, SOS and "other" but we win SOS too. So we start off at six. If Alabama wins the CCG, SEC gets left out, because we have head to head, that's pretty straight up. So we are four in that scenario. We have top 3(?) SOS and the best win all year against Bama. There are a bunch of other scenarios, but we just aren't seeing many upsets this season. FSU could lose to Louisville, or Oregon to Oregon State, but it's unlikely. Two more nice looking wins and I like our chances. Probably, we will be huge Alabama fans in a couple weeks.
  13. Suicide vests on the boars.
  14. Maybe I was wrong about Facebook. NSFW
  15. So it's Kielan for sure. No but seriously we're almost Alabama level in terms of talent now. Holy shit. We don't rebuild, we reload.
  16. He's got dementia now. When he was vice president, before he was demented, he took bribes from China. Does that clarify for you?
  17. It's like nailing the desperate 240lb fat girl and thinking wow, I am a real ladies man.
  18. You spelled celebrate wrong.
  19. Fantastic interview regarding where we go from here. Totally worth the 1.5 hours.
  20. China appointed to the UN Human Rights Council. I just don't understand people who think the UN has even a trace of legitimacy. China is a single largest violator of human rights in the world.
  21. I went and read the piece. The quotes you are highlighting are listed under the heading "Step One - Blame China". Jessie Watters not being nervous is simply irrelevant to the author's point, which is that conservative media tried to blame China (because they're racist). Basically, they failed to even make an argument related to racism. The piece is very poorly written. It tries to demonize telling the truth, as Tucker highlights, and as I restated, which is deranrged. Tucker provided two NY Times headlines confirming their emphasis on racism. It is a failed point. Whether conservative media denied the facts because of Trump or whatever is another argument. That's "Step Two - Play Down The Risks". Tucker shows a NY Times headline from Feb 5 stating "Who says it's not safe to travel to China?". This is a week after Watters made his comment (Which if you know the show isn't to be taken seriously anyway. You do realize they discuss beforehand their positions so that they make sure they have something to argue about, right?) I think lots of media were caught off guard, but if you said there were more in the "conservative press" I would have no argument with that, although again. I don't think they made the argument persuasively though. Citing Limbaugh and Hannity is technically media, but it isn't news reporting. Anyway I don't question the point, but it would have been useful to cite the Times' own lack of concern. Steps 3 & 4 basically say the media politicized it. Which I have no doubt is true. Especially Limbaugh et al. The NY Times ran a headline "The Road To Hell Was Paved By Evangelicals" and "Let's Call It Trumpvirus". The bottom line is the Times is attacking conservative media for downplaying the virus. Which, no surprise, it's a hit piece on conservative media. This was reported as news, not opinion. Given that (Thanks to Tucker's piece) we know the Times did everything that everyone conservative media did, what do you conclude the significance of the article is? What should a person take away from the article? My own conclusion is that you would not have a fair and balanced understanding of the issues if you did not watch Tucker's story. How would you have known that the NY Times actually did what they are accusing others of doing? You need to watch both sides, or else you develop an extremely warped, evidentially unsupportable viewpoint.
